None of us have crystal balls, sorry. However, since OP has gotten accepted into a DO school, he/she will be a US medical graduate (despite not having US citizenship or permanent residency). So OP, you will be a US medical graduate, not an IMG, not an FMG.
Being a US medical graduate will make your path to obtaining residency much, much better than carribean grads or other true IMG's (don't mean to offend anyone, it's just what I see/hear from talking to PD's).
Now, the real problem is that the number of US residency spots has bene largely stagnant for many years. More and more med students are graduating every year for roughly the same number of spots.
So, if you truly want to do medicine, do it. Don't fear it. Know that you need to work hard, and that if you want a competitive specialty, have a back up. But at the end of the day, if I were a betting man, I'd bet that as a non-US citizen (and non-US permanent resident) you will still be able to find a residency position and ultimately get a job.
Good luck!
